About This Event

Join us for The Artist’s Table—a thoughtfully curated dinner bringing together artists, collaborators, and supporters in the dramatic civic heart of CAC’s Zaha Hadid-designed building, Kaplan Hall. 

One week ahead of our Spring 2026 Exhibition openings, guests will gather in Kaplan Hall for welcome cocktails accompanied by live harp, followed by a five-course, art-inspired dinner and a series of fireside-style conversations exploring creative origin stories, artistic risk, collaboration, and what becomes possible when institutions commit to bold expression.  

The evening concludes with a featured harp performance by Victoria Lekson, carrying the evening’s experience from arrival to finale. 

Thoughtfully curated. Deeply personal. An evening where art, appetite, and impact converge.
